We are experienced and have never involved anyone in our projects and have never used a loan outside of a conventional mortgage.

But sure as heck not impossible, it just takes a commitment to learning a very complex detailed facet of business and regulations. 

When I asked for a loan, they asked if my business received money in Euros. 

I work on projects across multiple states and have a strong network of contractors.Regarding when to involve a contractor, if it’s someone you haven’t worked with before, I’d suggest waiting until after the inspection.

Looking to connect with other working parents who started this business adventure in their early 40's and made it work!

Add in community involvement any way you can.

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: I don't really even notice them, and I certainly don't click on them to actually read and get involved.....Just another way of getting business and not a great one IMO..By the way, does anyone know anything about framing a staircase?

I knew this 4 years ago and decided to build my real estate portfolio to get enough know how to finally get involved.

I was involved in a bunch of industries—from wellness and gyms to digital marketing and consumer products.

@Tonio PearceYes you should create a business plan.
